Fantasy is shown under the ownership of Oakland Ventures LLC. She was purchased by Darragh Kenny, in partnership with trainer Don Stewart, in March. Kenny saw the mare compete with rider Kyle Timm in Ocala, FL, and bought her soon after. "She was only jumping 1.35m and had done one 1.40m," Kenny explained. "I had seen the mare the September before and really liked her. She is great quality, lots of scope, super blood, and really careful. I think she is going to be very nice, I am just going to take my time with her a little bit."

"She is a really, really interesting mare," Kenny said. "She has been placed a couple of times in the 1.45m classes. She did the two derbies here and she was very good in those. She is still quite green in her riding, but she is super brave, and I think she has a lot of ability. I think she can do really good things."

Fantasy's confidence and ability led Kenny to jump her in the derby competitions for experience this summer, and she fared well with the demanding course both times. "She is extremely brave. She does all that stuff very well," Kenny noted. "I wanted to do that with her because it is good for her to get that kind of experience going around the ring. It is bigger jumps without putting her in a class that is too big for her. You have lots more space in the derby and lots more room to set up the jumps, so you don't make that many mistakes at the jumps. I think it is easier for her to figure out how to jump bigger jumps that way."

Fantasy's experience came into play in her win Thursday morning where Kenny kept a tidy track to shave off the time. "I didn't actually go that fast, I just stayed very tight," he explained. "She turns really well and you can turn back to any jump and she has the jump to jump it easy, so I just stayed very tight. There was an option to do the grob or do a double that was on the left side, which was actually a shorter line to do the double, and I just did that with her because I know she jumps the grob no problem."
